Benefits of dry needling

There are tons of musculoskeletal conditions that can be handled with dry needles.

Rosedale Wellness Centre in Toronto has also found that the vast majority of our patients reached the pain-free outcomes they were looking for, when our conventional exercise-based therapies are combined with dry needling.

Our Toronto physiotherapist or chiropractor will let you know if dry needling is the appropriate treatment course for you, but only after performing a thorough assessment to determine the severity of your condition!

Does dry needling hurt?

When undergoing dry needling procedures, most of our patients report feeling little or no pain.

Our highly trained physiotherapist or chiropractors know how to make the procedure as painless as possible, but with the application of the needle, some patients can still experience a “twitch response.” This is equivalent to a rapid cramp or ache in the muscle. Sometimes, patients report feeling some muscle soreness during the 24-48 hours after dry needling, which typically goes away on its own.

By applying ice and/or heat packs and drinking plenty of fluids, sore muscles can be treated at home.

How does dry needling relieve pain?

Dry needling treatment methods are used by our licensed Toronto physiotherapist or chiropractors as a way to relieve pain. While it is a common misconception, dry needling is not acupuncture. It is based on a modern scientific study of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. While there are some similarities, dry needling is strictly based on Western medicine principles and research.

When performing dry needling, our physiotherapist or chiropractor will insert a sterile needle through the skin, into the underlying tendons, ligaments, or muscles that have been affected, in order to relieve pain, decrease muscle tension, and improve mobility.

Dry needling simply provides an environment that enhances the body’s ability to heal, ultimately reducing pain in the process.
